I don’t want to hear anyone advocate the Bible who doesn’t know Greek, Hebrew, and some ancient history. If you’re going to have people stake their lives on a book, you had better have more than passing knowledge of it.

So, over $3 million in taxpayer money funneled into a Trump bribe. Hope some Oklahomans see federal prison time for this.

Christo-fascist grifters, every last one of them.

I wonder how many books teachers and librarians wanted they banned in favor of this.

$3.3 million meant to fund education instead going to Trump. Absolutely disgusting.

Too bad the staff at the schools will not get that badly needed money. Oklahoma needs to pay their personnel better. WHAT A WASTE!

Do they actually specify that the pages must stick together? 🤣

I wonder how much “gratuity” the author of the requirements is gong to receive.

Fiscal irresponsibility amongst other things. What happened to conservative values?

Don’t the parents of these kids have bibles at home? Why does the state have to buy them? Have the parents supply them.

Teachers: we would like to be able to afford to live and do what we love.
Repubs: lmao, no. Here’s some bibles.

Such a brutally obvious grift. This is effectively a campaign donation directly to Trump. Or realistically, right into Trump’s bank account.

None of these people see anything wrong with Donald Trump selling a fucking $60 Bible?

If the Trump Bible is actually picked, hopefully someone immediately sues since it doesn’t actually fully meet the legally required specs (it doesn’t contain the *full* Constitution, in it’s entirety).

This means that OK can also spend money on Satanic Temple literature. Right guys? 😬

Don’t the Gideon’s give those out for free? Is there something wrong with those Bibles? Have they been recalled?

Religion is/conservatives are such a fucking cancer on society. This is nothing more than stealing public education funds FROM CHILDREN to funnel it to dear leader.

Here’s a free version for anyone who wants to read it.
“Ryan Walters can find $6 million to buy Bibles and force them into public schools, yet cannot manage $250,000 with very specific instructions on how to get inhalers into classrooms,” Dollens said. “Maybe if the inhalers were branded with Trump logos, they would have already been in there.”
Says it all, right there.

They’re sending taxpayer money that was supposed to be for education to trump, the guy who wants to abolish the department of education and “loves the uneducated”, in exchange for bibles so they can indoctrinate children into one specific religion while in school…
These people are truly disgusting

Why the fuck are public schools buying 55,000 bibles?
